Since I've read a lot of messages in this mailing list, I've learned more about IPSec and it helped a lot in my work. Thanks =09 =09 > The first question is simple, "How can we support FreeS/WAN users > like _you_ better?". =09 The first idea I have about this, is to ask you if it is possible to have a FreeS/WAN forum. This will surely avoid spams and viruses that are common place in this mailing list. The bigest advantage I see in a forum will be the grouping of subjects. (for users, establish zones about "FreeS/WAN 2.0", "interaction with Cisco products", "interaction with Windows", "Oportunistic Encryption", etc) Of course, this could be a big task to set a forum, I'm just telling you how practical it can be. =09 =09 > The whole idea of FreeS/WAN was to do OE and not make just another > IPsec system.
